Scientific Writing and Communication: Papers, Proposals, and Presentations is an "all-in-one" handbook that covers the areas of scientific communication that a student, researcher, or scientist needs to know and to master in order to successfully promote his or her research and career. Written in an accessible and easy-to-understand manner, the book begins with several chapters on the basics of the scientific writing style. It then builds on these by applying the presented principles to all types of scientific documents. The book also covers academic presentations and posters in detail. Applicable in the fields of life sciences, medicine, psychology, chemistry, physics, and engineering, it is ideal as a stand-alone textbook or as a reference guide."Wow! I wish I had read this as a senior. The author has truly thought of everything. It is truly great that there are end-of-section questions for these important activities. This is groundbreaking and very exciting." --Joseph Kremer, Alvernia University"Scientific Writing and Communication is already a useful resource. The changes to the fifth edition enhance its utility even further and will ensure that the text keeps up with advances and best practices in pedagogy." --Marshall Hayes, Kean University Angelika H.
